We are honored that Dean Sunny Nakae, author of Premed Prep - Advice from a Medical School Admissions Dean, will be hosting free premed chats every 2nd Sunday of the month, LIVE on Zoom! This LIVE series, "Premed Chats with Dr. Nakae" is a truly unique opportunity where our students can benefit from the knowledge and guidance of a Medical School Admissions Dean that has served top institutions like Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Loyola Stritch and now the University of California Riverside School of Medicine. What's more important than her credentials, is her passion to help premed students reach their dreams of becoming Healthcare Heroes. She has mentored countless students underrepresented in medicine and is committed to helping you properly prepare as well.
Dr. Nakae, has graciously offered to host this live monthly session designed for I AM ABEL FOUNDATION Mentees and several other mentoring groups that she advises and supports.
We enjoyed her speaking at our annual Chicago Health and Medical Careers Citywide Student Conference but recognized that it did not afford us adequate time to truly take a deeper dive into the many questions that our premed students have about the application process and navigating the journey to becoming an M1.
Join us each 2nd Sunday, LIVE on Zoom at 1pm. Be sure to be on time because there are attendance guest limits. Each session will be 90 minutes allowing for both content and questions.
Once you have registered for this event, you will be emailed the Zoom link to log on the day of the event. Make sure to download the Zoom App to your device or computer in advance
